Of course, my motto is still, ‘Work is work, private is private.’

When I watch my mind and stay with my body, out of that comes some course of action.

The 1960s was a period when writers in the West began to be aware of the extraordinary eloquence and popular attraction of the Russian poets such as Yevtushenko and Voznesensky – oppositional figures who could draw crowds. The Russian poets recited from memory as a matter of course.

I went to the University of Washington as a physics and astronomy major. My other interest, of course, was aviation. I always wanted to be a pilot. And if you’re going to fly airplanes, the best place to be is the Air Force.

In heaven, after antipasti, the first course will be pasta.

Send it to someone who can publish it. And if they won’t publish it, send it to someone else who can publish it! And keep sending it! Of course, if no one will publish it, at that point you might want to think about doing something other than writing.

I don’t in any sense think of myself as a celebrity, which of course I’m not.

An apology for the actions of some troops who, of course, are not representative of the majority of the armed forces here, I think that would have been useful and it would have helped to some extent.

FOCUS = Follow On Course Until Successful.

There are elements of irony in my work, of course.

Of course, after I retire I want to be the housewife, really.

My training in martial arts was kind of a crash course in how to look like a black belt. I know the moves of a black belt – my kicks, and my stretches, and my punches and all that.

Everyone I built a course for thinks they have the best golf course in the world and I’m very pleased and proud of that.

Of course, we should all be aware of what we’re packing in our carry-on luggage – anything that might be considered dangerous could be confiscated at a security checkpoint.

We have lived through the flood time of fascism and of the nazism which ran its meteoric course at a cost to mankind in suffering and waste beyond all computation.

I would never write realistic prose. I don’t like people who try to write in a poetic style, but in the course of their book abandon it for realism, and weave back and forth like drunkards between the surreal and the real.

During the course of filming ‘Top Chef,’ I gain 15 lbs., so I’m used to needing two dress sizes.

My aim is that every sermon series I preach is prepared as though I were teaching a college-level course.

I am waiting for the decision, which is not depending of me, to know if the trial will be in Iraq, in the states, or in international court. Of course, the decision is not mine.

Growing up in the Sacramento Valley in the ’70s, we were all pretty big into cars. Of course, I had to nerd out and be a fan of Bob Tullius’ Group 44 Jaguars instead of Corvettes/Camaros.

You should never get away from where the real foundation of Formula One has been, which is Europe. Of course, there is nothing wrong with the expansion to countries like Asia, China, Malaysia.

People forget that a huge proportion of our jobs still depend on agricultural production in Australia so of course there are exports. That’s easily overlooked.

What you choose today will determine who you are tomorrow.

My dad was a presence, of course, but he worked nights a lot, and I would only see him one day a week.

We have three daughters, our own. And, of course, there’s nothing more frightening than something bad happening to them. And also, the thought of our children turning bad in some ways is another frightening thought.

Of course, it’s imperative that we stabilize Iraq and quickly reduce our armed role there.

Of course it was Mamma who both stopped my career and crystallized my determination to resume it.

I loved the MC5 and the Stooges, but also, the British Invasion – the Kinks and the Yardbirds – and then Led Zeppelin, of course. Alice Cooper was one of my favorite bands.

Of course, screwed up families are not the exclusive province of the famous. Still, most families get to screw up in private.

You don’t go to Palm Springs in the summer unless you’re building a golf course.

Of course China is an important new market for Tod’s, and of course we need to succeed commercially. But I believe the way to do that is not to aim to deliver results in the short term by thoughtless expansion, but instead to explain to the Chinese people what our brand is really about.

We speculate as to what is in store for us. But we not only undergo events, we in part cause them or at least influence their course. We have not only to study them but to act.

I teach a course called ‘Committed Impulse,’ and part of the work I do is to get people outside of their heads.

I think America has dealt with – I mean, this is simplistic, and of course I don’t live in America – but the impression I get is that there is not a kind of obligation to dislike those who are better off or be frightened of those who are worse off.

Marriage is something I’d recommend everyone to try, if you find the right person, of course.

Of course, my own political beliefs inform the ideas I come up with.

I’ve taught a college journalism course at two universities where my students taught me more than I did them about how political news is consumed.

It’s an honor to win a Grammy, of course.

More than 90% of Chinese believe themselves to be Han. Of course, such a vast population is derived from countless different races, but because China has enjoyed such a long and continuous history as a polity, there has been thousands of years of mixing, melding and assimilation.

My concept of a ‘Doctor Who’ girl was that you screamed a lot and ran around quarries in unsuitable footwear. Of course you fell over and twisted your ankle, because you had high heels on.

The actual course is called fishery studies, and you study general aquatics and fishery management.

Once I tried to make a standardization of staircases. Probably that is one of the oldest of the standardizations. Of course, we design new staircase steps every day in connection with all our houses, but a standardized step depends on the height of the buildings and on all kinds of things.

In the faculty of failure, mediocrity is never an optional course!

Of course, in pro ball, they never hit the quarterback in practice.

Of course you’re nervous going into a final.

Like any self-governing group of people, the Recording Academy has made missteps over the years. Still, it has corrected course and done more to open its arms to the future than nearly any other industry group around.

Do we recognize the platform that Indian cinema has been given? Of course. And typically India of us, we gracefully acknowledge our host’s grace and we thank you for celebrating us and our cinema.

Of course I want to take the last shot, let’s be quite frank: I’ve been doing for nine years already, and I’ve made a ton of them.
